The director of 'The Hurt Locker', Kathryn Bigelow
Six of the past nine winners of the accolade have gone on to win the best picture prize at the Academy Awards, which will take place in Hollywood this year on March 7. Nominations for the Oscars are announced on February 2.
Victory for "The Hurt Locker" thrust the film firmly back into contention in the race for the Oscars's best picture prize after science fiction blockbuster "Avatar" had emerged as an early favorite following last week's Golden Globes.
"Avatar" was among the other beaten nominees for the PGA Awards top honor, which also included "District 9," "An Education," "Inglourious Basterds," "Invictus," "Precious," "Star Trek," "Up" and "Up in the Air."
The PGA Awards best animated film went to Pixar's "Up" while the best documentary honor went to "The Cove."
